Let's help one another and not focus on the negative I read in the other thread.

I am really looking forward to this challenge and going to give it my all. Please feel free to add my profile and me.

Pictures will come very soon! Those will be the OLD me.. the new me.. well I can tell you will be amazing! Even if I don't win the big prize.. I will be a lot healthier, leaner, stronger and have met some great people along the journey. For me that is PRICELESS!

Peace and love in 2009!
Go for yours!
Tim

I have been receiving some questions regarding diet, supps, and training from you guys. I will help on this board as much as possible.

I have studied with NASM for my PT and will offer to anyone who is interested, a more complete coaching and support for a fee. I must say that I used someone and they were the support for me...and trust me it helps 100% to have support. I know you guys want to win this thing, but HOW BAD?

I will offer as much a free support on this board as I can, but after all I am turning this into a career.

I will say this first and only one time.......You have to want this more than anything in your life at the time! The person who wins will be the one who trains through the pain and through all of the other obstacles that impair training on a daily basis. Focus Danielson.......Focus! " Mr Miagi"

I trained 2-3 times a day....running 10 miles or more daily! My feet were bloody and I couldn't walk very good most of the time. I got up at 5:00 AM and went to bed at 7-8-9 PM daily.....which sucked but I really wanted this! Every free moment I read and asked questions to those in the know about what to eat and when....how much and when....and what to change and when! I devoted 110% of my free time to this while still managing to enjoy family time and work.

I will say, nobody will lose this if they try hard and accomplish whatever goal they have set! Again....only one 1st prize...so will it be you????? You had better assume that everyone will be in the best shape of their life.....you will be competing against incredibly talented amateur bodybuilders like Jerome Dinh from the last comp! You will have to push the envelope and disregard what others say is impossible....you will need to break out of the you can't possibly do that mentality and assume everything is possible with hard work. That you can win and you will win!

How does MT help you achieve this..... Well.....I couldn't even see straight until I took my Halo and Cell Tech after my workouts! I found the pumps and focus and energy to be an animal in the gym after taking my NaNo Vapor! I will elaborate on all of the different MT supps I took, as well as at what point to stop taking them and switch to another kind from MT that fits the period of your transformation. I will go more into what and which and when in more detail soon.

I took almost all of the MT line at different points, and depending on what phase my body was in. Again I will cover this and why...soon!

Treat this comp as the Olympia....others will be!

Hope this helps you get motivated for now! Remember...there were at least 50 people talking smack about how much they were going to kick everyone's butt in the last comp....UMM....only 1 of those smack talkers even finished the comp.....and most of them came up with some everyday excuse as to why they couldn't finish! TIME to reinvent yourself.....no quitters will win.....ever!

No matter how hard you work, and how much effort you put into diet, training, and planning, there will be a group of losers who will try and belittle your achievement and say you cheated or did something they couldn't or didn't! Whats new, that's life and so be it! Forget them and focus on what you can do! This will be the hardest thing in your life for the next 5 months or 12 weeks! If for any reason it's not, then your not working hard enough!

For those guys in the military, then maybe this will be the second hardest thing!

Good Luck and PM me if you want some personalized coaching and training advice!

**XCONKILLER** · 12-31-2008, 06:36 AM

This will be interesting to watch this time around. I wounder if they are going to do the Bodyblog thing again or just the forum. It says that we should post pictures in here and in our progress section on are profile, nothing about MuscleTech Bodyblog.

I noticed today (took two scoops) that it helped with my endurance doing cardio. The pumps for me were not mind blowing but they are definitely good pumps and I started noticing the vascularity in my forearms getting better after being on it for a little over a week. I would say definitely give it a shot its worth it.

Thanks man I appreciate the feedback. I've really been looking for something pre workout that does what it says it should do...I've tried several and none of them have delivered the goods I'm hoping this does the job.

First off that is very motivational and congrats on the child. There is no words I can explain the blessing of being a father.

Second this is by no means meant to bring negativity to this thread I merely disagree with your training regiment for the average person and specifically ones that are not using hormonal products. Training 3x times daily can easily cause "overtraining syndrome" which has many impacts on the human body. The link below shows a study concerning reproduction concerns (seamen and testosterone levels) that can be impacted by this.

Besides this if you do not properly cut you risk loosing much of your muscle mass using the above training without the use of anabolics.

My point is just like rescuemadden please research on how to cut properly and somewhat healthy. No competition is worth health risks and self education is key to success.

I am already a huge fan of MT. I will be using gakic, aplodan, and cryo test for the first month then add in hydroxycut hardcore for the last two months.

You could also try to use Gakic, I use it before the gym and it works great i'm always pumped and I lift heavier and longer and its amazing.

you can use pretty much any supps you want as long as you buy one from mt to join the contest, i'm sure they would prefer you to use their products though.

I want to try Cryotest too!

Im on a tight budget so I really need to budget to see what I can afford but I know that my staple will be Hydroxycut Hardcore so I can lose fat.

My goal is to lose fat and build muscle. Im going to see if I can fit Aplodan into my budget

**2009Time4Change** · 12-31-2008, 10:11 AM

I know some people out there have accused others of using "illegal" supplements for their 12 week transformation. I am putting this out there. I will get ripped and lean and I will take ANY blood test, pee test you want me to.

With proper nutrition, training and supplementation you can achieve what you wish. I have seen it over and over again! It is mind over matter. If you are not in it to win... you won't win. If you are in it to win and your fall short... you are 20 steps ahead of where you were. Be proud you took the first step... because there is many people that won't make that step!

There comes a time in your life when you decide to do something for no other reason than believing it is right!

This is my life and I chose to change!

Looking forwarding to the New Years and the NEW ME!

Peace and Happy New Year everyone!

Very motivational, Tim!!

Ill be doing the same... I will get ripped and lean and I will take ANY blood test, pee test they want me to. I will make people believiers out of them that they will achieve what I did if they choose great lifestyle changes along with proper supplementation and nutrition!

I cant wait for this to start!

I went to the Olympia expo and have sample packets of Anabolic Halo, Hydroxycut hardcore, Nano Vapor, Gakic, and a full bottle of Nano X9!

Tomorrow, I will order more Hydroxycut Hardcore for this challenge as well

I cant wait!

My point is just like rescuemadden please research on how to cut properly and somewhat healthy. No competition is worth health risks and self education is key to success.

Yes, I agree about over training.

Depending on how you are training and the intensity of workload, this can be a problem. My true heavy loads were done in the morning workout followed by low intensity cardio. I used a split that would allow me to not train the same body part within a period of 48-72 hour depending on the workload of the muscle in the previous training session for that muscle. I wanted to avoid over training at all cost, but needed to achieve maximum results for a short period of 12 weeks.

At night I would train different body parts than my early session and follow with a strict HIIT session of cardio. Obviously it was almost impossible to train the legs correctly while working so hard on the cardio. I actually hated the way my legs looked in my after pics. I had defined legs, but they were like runners legs and not huge like a bodybuilder. The HIIT allowed me to train my legs and still not completely trash them for the next day. I swear by HIIT if done correctly. HIIT cardio will help you keep the muscle and not burn it all away! If done right!

I did another workout briefly at night after a recoup at home.

If you should chose to have 2 workouts per day, they need to be properly split with maximum workload for minimum times.

None of this is concrete at all times though.......My workout and cardio routine changed almost every couple of days. I was progressing and my routines needed to reflect the stage I was in. My diet changed CONSTANTLY AND SO DID MY WORKOUTS!

If you are not eating right, then this will kill you.....If you are not sleeping right then this will kill you! You need to gauge your training by how your body feels at every stage. You must become one with your body!

Over training is a serious issue and can ruin any chances of muscle growth and sabotage your training. Be careful! That is why the supplements were created, to help you in these various stages and provide added stamina. energy, and recovery.

Trust me it is a fine line, but it can be done with proper and strict guidelines. I guess that's why I needed a coach. Even the best bodybuilders use coaches...to keep them focused and strict!

My training was very complicated and It is hard to write all of the little intricate details....so just ask if you have a question or hire me and I'll help you win this!

**TheeForce** · 12-31-2008, 12:04 PM

Madden... what was your diet like?
